Abstract

Utilising MEMS technology motion sensors and algorithms for motion data processing, a prototype device is proposed as a viable solution for movement diagnostics during sports or rehabilitation activities, based on the documented in the medical journals benefits of eccentric resistive training with full range of motion. The proposed device evaluates the quality of the movement by measuring the range of motion and both eccentric and concentric phases of the movement.
